    Anthony Joshua right now vs the Roy Jones who beat Ruiz.

    I think this is a pretty good fantasy match up. Joshua is a very young fighter who's probably 10-15 fights away from his prime. He's 6'6, with good power, obvious talent and very fast hand speed for a Heavyweight. How would this version of Joshua fare against the Roy Jones Jr who beat up John Ruiz?

    I think by the end of 2015, Joshua easily dispatches any version of Roy or any LHW that went up to HW.......but as of right now due to lack of experience I think this will still be a good close fight.

      Joshua even at this stage is better than Ruiz.. It would be interesting but Joshua a true legit heavy and roy didn't want any part of that

        He's definitely got a chance because of his size and power. I can't see roy really exchanging, he'd have to dart in and out to make up for his height and reach disadvantage. If Joshua is truly a good fighter he should be able to time him and ko him, kinda like what crawford did to gamboa.

          Ya there's no way roy would take the fight, not that anyone would hold it against him, it's almost unfair.

              Come on. Fighting Ruiz and Joshua are very different prospects.

                It wouldn't be much of a credit to Joshua but I would favor him, Roy was a smallish LHW.

                  Well, he stands a puncher's chance, but atm that is all he needs.
